Manta got punted off the track by a Ferrari but it wasn't terminal, he just needed a tow to the edge of the kitty litter

E: NVM manta pulled into the pits and right into the garage

So some drivers went off at Yokohama over the WTCC tire failures, Yokohama responded basically saying what tire companies always say after stuff like this. If you'd actually follow the pressure guidelines we give you this might not keep happening, and also saying they can't make a Nordschleife-specific tire because WTCC won't let them.

Also British GT at Snetterton is today if for some ungodly reason you need more racing to watch today.

You know where you are? You're in the suburbs, baby. You're gonna drive.

I have been awake for 22 hours now. At this point I am wondering if I should attempt a nap between the 24/Monaco (whichever ends later) and the 500.

To be fair, I have not had any caffeine (other than 4 cups of tea) since 5pm EDT on Friday.

I just fired up my grinder to make a couple cup of coffee in my French press

Really want to watch the last 30 minutes and see the end but if I don't hit the hay now work tomorrow morning will suck so I'll catch up with it later. Being in Australia sucks frequently for Motorsport stuff but less so since live YouTube became a thing

The 500 could. The F1 definitely won't. NASCAR could if they sacrifice another jet dryer to the gods.

Prescient!

Somebody needs to bronze and trophy-ize that fuel filler nozzle and cap. My goodness.

Context: #29 Land Audi R8 had sputtered and made an unplanned stop with ~an hour to go, so they think the race is done. They come in for the final splash-and-dash, and gently caress up the fuel filling -- not filling it up, almost sending the car out on slicks without enough fuel.

They pull it back and re-fill, then decide "oh gently caress it's raining" and throw the slicks on. Mind you this is all in the same stop. And they go from almost falling off the podium to being the only team on wets on a pouring wet track.

My goodness indeed.
